Hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ لِي ابْنُ شُبْرُمَةَ نَظَرْتُ كَمْ يَكْفِي الرَّجُلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ سُورَةً أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثِ آيَاتٍ، فَقُلْتُ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثِ آيَاتٍ‏.‏

Narrated Sufyan: Ibn Shubruma said, "I wanted to see how much of the Qur'an can be enough (to recite in prayer) and I could not find a Surah containing less than three Verses, therefore I said to myself), "One ought not to recite less than three (Quranic) Verses (in prayer)

Sufyan bataate hain: Ibn Shubruma ne kaha, 'Main dekhna chahta tha ke namaz mein padhne ke liye Quran ka kitna hissa kaafi hai, aur mujhe teen Aayaton se kam ki koi Surah nahi mili, isliye maine (khud se) kaha, "Kisi ko namaz mein teen Quraani Aayaton se kam nahi padhna chaahiye."'
